The Celtic/Folk/World music duo Four Shillings Short return to Arizona after 2 years of touring in the Pacific Northwest, Rockies and Ireland . Their 2011 -12 tour will take the forever travelling bards from California to Maine and from Florida to Minnesota . Having recently released our 8th CD "Pass It On - Live in Boulder, Colorado" the prolific husband-wife duo are currently working on two other projeccts 1) a full studio album with Cello, Uillean & Gallician Pipes, Fiddle, Guitar & Bass accompaniment and 2) an album of Choral music composed for the Catholic Mass and sung in the Irish language with compositions by 5 different contemporary Irish Composers .
Celebrating their 16 th year together, the Celtic/Folk/World music duo, of Aodh Og O'Tuama from Cork, Ireland and Christy Martin from California, tour in the US and Ireland and live as the bardic minstrels of old, bringing their one-of-a-kind, eclectic blend of world music around the globe. The husband/wife duo perform on a fantastic array of instruments from around the world. This list of instruments includes North Indian Sitar, Hammered Dulcimer, Mandolins, Banjo, Whistles, Recorders, Medieval and Renaissance Woodwinds, Charango, Bowed Psaltery, Guitar, and even a Krumhorn. They perform at Celtic and Folk music festivals, theatres, coffeehouses, folk music venues, Irish Pubs, Libraries and Schools and stay with friends and fans or camp along the way to keep their costs to a minimum. We want folk music to be accessible to folks and so we offer our music mostly for a donation.
WHAT FOLKS SAY ABOUT FOUR SHILLINGS SHORT:
One of the most unique, eclectic and fascinating acts out there. (New Times- San Luis Obispo CA)
Sunday nights' concert featured a husband and wife duo called Four Shillings Short.
They are astounding. They both have wonderful singing voices. They play an incredible variety of music from Indian Ragas to Celtic, Traditional folk and about anything else you can think of. They are very charismatic with great stage presence. ( Columbus Folk Music Society, Columbus OH )
Their musical virtuosity makes old songs sound new and new songs sound like time-worn Celtic spells. (CITY PAGES, Wausau WI )
" They are not the Clancy Brothers or Jean Richie or Ravi Shankar but a combination of all three, laced with Irish humor. Their collection of instruments is museum-like and I've never seen the place so packed." (San Gregorio General Store, CA)
The international duo have carved out a musical identity all their own." (River Stages, Dubuque IA )
Four Shillings Short are the ultimate in coffeehouse entertainment. The variety of musical instrumentation really keeps me interested. Equal amounts of male and female energy keep the emotional content well-balanced. Song lyrics don't get hidden underneath too much accompaniment. Harmonies are sweet; instrumental solos spirited. And best of all, their demeanor belies a commitment to the ideal of rising up singing. ( Chicory House Concerts Forty Fort, PA)
